Do you think we've already seen the fight of the year for 2008 ?

[Replies: 51]
With many great fights having already taken place in 2008 do you think we've seen the best yet? If not what fights could eclipse what we've already seen? In my opinion the Cotto Margarito fight has a chance.

I concur, and I think it may occur via late stoppage.

I think I'll pick Campbell. I believe he will get his revenge.

tough question, casamayor is definately aging, but i've been impressed with his ability to outhink the younger guys and still win fights (even though one of them he lost except for on the cards) but campbell is pretty slick himself, i can see it going either way, but i like casamayor by UD

All I know is that in the end, Casamayor gave it to Katsidis Greek style. :^O

You mates know your history, I'm impressed. I guess his name sounded/looked Greek, but thanks for the Aussie update (I forgot that's the flag he fights under).

Me neither its something they never told me in World History class. Speaking of good fights I enjoyed Angulo's fight. I Hope he grows into a good fighter.

Well as we know mate the British colonized Australia, South Africa, India and the United States of America, among others. I'm reasonably sure that Katsidis' ancestry traces back along those lines, although I'm not sure when his first ancestor actually colonized in Australia.

Well you can't be to sure. Oddly enough when Researching Australia I found that anything passed the date when it was colonized is practically nothing. I'm guessing they had their culture destroyed and burned much like the Mayans did. I found it funny that Australians are supposed to be decedents of Asians that came there about 45,000 years earlier. However what is even funnier is that I found that Africans came there as well because there is supposed evidence of a African tribe that once inhabited the northern Australia. I took a long look at Katsidis and he looks neither African or Asian? Where the fuck are we getting this from?

Right you are he's from up near Brisbane, a native Aussie. I'm not sure if his parents immigrated in or just how far back his heritage is in Australia.

I agree the Marquez vs Vasquez fights were the best. Margarito vs Cotto may take the crown in July. Screw De La Hoya vs Mayweather II
